As children, we are encouraged to play to strengthen our creativity, build problem-solving skills, and improve communication.\u00a0 As we grow up, we are encouraged to stop \u201cplaying\u201d and focus on work.\u00a0 However, the work we do as a Division tends to use creativity and communication to solve problems. The goal of this team building activity is to harness the power of fun to work on these skills together.<\/p>\n<p>The day started off with leader, Sterlin Sanders, giving a rundown on the rules and the division of teams. First, it was supervisors versus student assistants. Talk about a fiery way to start\u00a0the day. After several minutes of play, the supervisor team came out on top.<a href=\"https:\/\/blog.valdosta.edu\/it\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2018\/12\/image006.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-3644\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.valdosta.edu\/it\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2018\/12\/image006.jpg\" alt=\"staff team building event \" width=\"4032\" height=\"1960\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.valdosta.edu\/it\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2018\/12\/image006.jpg 4032w, https:\/\/blog.valdosta.edu\/it\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2018\/12\/image006-300x146.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.valdosta.edu\/it\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2018\/12\/image006-768x373.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.valdosta.edu\/it\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2018\/12\/image006-644x313.jpg 644w, https:\/\/blog.valdosta.edu\/it\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2018\/12\/image006-532x259.jpg 532w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 4032px) 100vw, 4032px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>That didn&#8217;t deter the student assistants though.
